TOY DOLLS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 237,897, dated February15, 1881.

I Application filed December 18, 1880. (No model.) I

the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is the production of a toy doll which willmake bows, give a side turning of the head in doing so, and fan itselfwith a fan carried in the right hand by mechanism connected with andoperated by carrying-wheels.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a sideelevation of a toy doll as undressed and in the position of making abow; Fig. 2, a similar view of the doll, the arm being raised as in theact of fanning; Fig. 3, a horizontal section on the line a a: of Fig. 1;Fig. 4,a front sectional elevation and Fig. 5, a detail sectional view,showing the devices for vibrating the arm in giving the fanning action.

The doll is mounted upon a suitable carriage, which in the example shownconsists ofaplate, a, supported upon four carrying-wheels, b b, ofsuitable size. The body 0 of the doll is pivoted at or near the waist,at c, to standards d cl fixed upon the carriage-plate, and upon thispivot the bowing movements are made by means of a rod, 6, pivoted at eto a rigid extension, c of the body, and which may represent the leftleg, the other end of said rod 0 being connected with a crank, 6 on thearbor of a pinion,f, mountedin suitable bearings above thecarriage-plate, and operated by a smaller pinion, f, on the axle of thefront wheels, b. Each revolution of the crank gives a bowing movement,and the frequency of such movements is determined by the size of thepinions. The head is loosely seated, and is carried upon a rod, 9,which, passing through the body, depends by the side of thebody-extension c and, passing through an eye, 0 at the lower end of saidextension, is provided with ahorizontal slotted arm, g, which fits overa piu, g rising from the carriage-plate in rear of thefrontsupporting-wheels. This slotted arm and fixed pin form a sort ofcrank connection for .the head-carrying rod g, and serve as the rod 9,and therefore give the side-turningmovement to the head. In thisswiveling action of the head-supporting rod the slotted arm changes itsposition with the pin, moving over it as the lower end of thebody-extension 0 is moved past said pin to the front in the erectposition of the body, and to the rear of said pin in the bowing positionof the body, and the bowing-and the side turning of the head aresimultaneous with the vibration of the arm which carries the fan, andwhich is as follows: The right arm is pivoted in such manner that itsweight will tend to maintain it in a position of rest or half-extension,and a crank, h, on the inner end of said pivotbearing h in a dependingposition, as shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 5, so as to receive the action ofthe upper end of rod 6, pivoted at i in the body at or near the waist,and extending down in position to receive the action of a cam or tappet,j, on the shaft of the front wheels. The relation of the rod to thearmcrank it and to the revolving cam or tappet j is such that the cam,as it is revolved by the action of the front wheels, will actupon thelower end ofthe pivoted rod 5, and, forcing it backward with a quickaction, cause thereby the upper end of said rod to strike the armcrankit, and pushing it frontward will raise the arm with a quick action, andit will fall as quickly by its weight each time the cam or tappetvibrates said pivoted rod, and in this way produce the vibration of thefan-carrying arm. The size and form of the cam or tappet should be suchas to give about four vibrations of the arm during the bowing movement.

I propose to make the body and carriage of metal, to give the requisiteweight to insure the driving of the front wheels; but the body may bemade of any suitable material, and the carriage may be suitablyweighted.

A parasol is provided in the left hand, and the dressing ot' the dollmay be made to serve as the means for concealing the carriage mechanism.

I claim- 1. In a toy doll, the combination of a carriage with adoll-body pivoted thereon and caused to have bowing movements upon saidpivot as said carriage is drawn by meansconnecting an extension of thebody below said pivot with the carriage-wheels, substantially asdescribed.

2. The combination, in a toy doll, of a carriage and a doll-body mountedthereon with means for connecting the arm which carries a fan with theaxle of the carriage-wheels, whereby to produce the vibrations of thefan-carrying arm as the carriage is drawn, substantially as described.

3. The combination, in a toy doll, of a carriage, a doll-body pivotedthereon, and means for producing; bowing movements of said body by theaction of the carriage wheels, with means for effecting the side turningmovements of the head during the bowing actionof the body, substantiallyas described.

4:. The combination, in a toy doll of a carriage and a doll-bodypivotedthereon, substantially as described, with means for producing bowingmovements of the body, means for giving side movements to the head, andmeans for effecting the vibration of the arm which carries the fan,substantially as herein set forth.

5. The combination of a (loll-body and a carriage upon which it ispivoted with a rod to which the head is attached, having a slottedarmconnection with a fixed pin on the earriage, and the crank-connection ofsaid body, by suitable means, with the axle of the carriage-wheels,substantially as described, for the purpose specified.

6. The combination of a doll-body and a carriage upon which itispivoted,of arod pivoted in said body, and means for vibrating itoperated by the axle of the carriage-wheels, with the pivoted arm whichcarries the fan having a crank on its inner end in position to receivethe vibrating action of said pivoted rod, substantially as described,for the purpose specified.

7. The combination of a doll-body and a carriage upon which itis pivotedwith means for producing bowing movements of the body, means for givingside-turning movements of the head, and means for effecting thevibrations of the arm which carries the fan, the said means consistingof the pivoted rod 0, the crank 0 the pinions ff, and the frontcarriage-wheels, the rod 9, and the fixed pin 9, which connects with itsslotted arm 9, the pivoted rod 1', its operating cam or tappet j, andthe crank it of the fan-carrying arm, substantially as described.

In testimony whereofI have hereunto set my hand in the presence of twosubscribing wit: nesses.
